Kenya Wildlife Services (KWS) has announced the change of venue for the planned recruitment exercise of 1,500 rangers.
In a notice published on Tuesday, April 16, KWS informed applicants that the venue will not be Nyayo Stadium as earlier announced.

The change of venue comes after President Ruto directed the recruitment officers to give first priority to National Youth Service (NYS) graduates.
Ruto noted that it will give them an opportunity to serve after obtaining relevant training.
“In that recruitment plan, I have directed that we must ensure that the majority of those given priority are our young people who have graduated from NYS. We want those young people from NYS to get an opportunity to serve, as I instructed in matters of the security sector,” Ruto stated.
The initial advert targeted Kenyans who have a minimum mean grade of “D” (Plain) in the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examination.
The recruitment exercise was set to commence on Monday April April 15 and concluded Friday, April 19 at different centres across the 47 counties.
